Comments Thread For: Steward: Mayweather is Scared To Death, Totally Petrified

[puga]

Demanding OST has nothing to do with confidence. Floyd demanded OST of Shane, when Shane agreed, the deal was inked. End of story, no ulterior motives, no underlining thoughts. Agree to testing and we fight. Your argument there would hold some weight if FLoyd had flaked on Shane after Shane agreed. Then I would wholeheartedly agree with you. but Floyd didn't. Floyd laid out his 1 demand and that was "shane, submit to testing and we can fight." Shane said "ok." Fight was inked.

Of all the ppl who was calling Floyd a coward: ESPN, Steward, Sugar, Pryor, Duran, Cooney, Hagler etc... None of them had proof of this mythical 2nd bout of negotiations. Floyd's stance has been made publicly by him even in interviews. And finally, Manny has agreed to a 14 cutoff.

The fact is, Team Manny is more cleaver a winning public perception battles. This fiasco was not was birthed when Manny went into an uproar about the OST request. Shane handled it professionally. "Yes, I'll test because I have nothing to hide and why walk away from millions over a blood test?"- Shane Mosley. What did Manny do? Got ticked off, and replied with 3 major demands of his own- ALL OF WHICH FLOYD AGREED TO. Then Manny cancelled 1st round of negotiations. Then Team Manny launched a damage control campaign that was designed to take the focus away from "why Manny would walk away from a potentially $50-$100 million dollar pay day just because he doesn't want to give blood" and put the focus on Floyd by suggesting that Floyd only requested OST and a 60/40 split because he knew that was his only way out of the fight.

Very clever. Politics 101. In the mean time, the masses completely overlook the fact that Floyd followed through with his word in an identical situation with SHANE MOSLEY. "Test, and we fight!" Shane agreed, they fought.

Manny instead, launched lawsuits for defamation, offered up excuses such as religious beliefs, superstition, fear (afraid of needles- even though he has tattoos). All because Manny just didn't want to prove to the work through OST that he's clean.

I love politics.

ofcourse it does......40 of floyd fights, he did'nt need ost....it was just brought up when he was going to face pac man......he did'nt have a choice to not demand it with shane since it's was going to look like he was just singling out pac if he did'nt as true as mosley did'nt have a choice since he has the history of peds......

pac not feeling 100% after a bloodtest is well documented ...floyd knew that, thats why he demanded it....getting your blood drawn and getting a tattoo are the same?....lol....sonny liston had the same problem with blood tests...

In so many words, some Manny fans actually believe that Manny is juicing.

After all that Manny has done and ALL of the excuses he has made to AVOID better drug testing...the REALITY is, that's su****ious, very. And, you don't know what history he has, just like I don't.

[ReUterZ]

...damn , really?

when he demanded ost, he pretty much showed he was'nt confident of beating pac..he says pac is easy yet he needs extra testing?...lol

when floyd was no show with the 2nd negotiation of the fight ..then later claimed there was no negotiation ..he's cowardice got exposedd again since greenburg confirmed they tried to make the fight..

how many boxing afficionados blame floyd for the fight not happening for you *****s to see it like it is....from steward to bert sugar, to aaron pryor to duran..to hollyfield to cooney,hagler to toney etc....

how many fighters do you *****s see getting called a coward on national tv by ESPN?....lol.....

And Floyd did not correct the ESPN anchor of calling him a coward.
